A BAKERY firm has cooked up a unique way to celebrate the Queen’s jubilee – by creating an amazing edible replica of her crown.

Aulds the bakers have created four limited edition Jubilee Cakes to honour 60 years of Elizabeth’s reign.

And they will be auctioning them off for charity.

The firm’s master designers worked hard to perfect the huge cakes, including incredibly detailed icing in the form of Her Majesty’s Imperial State Crown.

Two of the artistic confectionery delights will go on display at their outlets in Paisley Piazza and Braehead Shopping Centre today.

The remaining pair will go to Greenock and Lanarkshire.

Hungry shoppers can view the cakes until Sunday – and anyone who fancies a slice of the action can bid for the creations in a silent auction.

The lucky winners will not only get to take home their very own Jubilee Cake, but will also see their bid be given to the charity of their choice.

Alan J Marr, managing director of Aulds bakery and coffee shops, said: “The Queen’s Diamond Jubilee is a fantastic occasion and we wanted to do something a bit different which would be of interest to our customers and also raise money for charity.

“We came up with the idea of a cake in the shape of the Queen’s crown and challenged our cake designers to produce a cake fit for the occasion.

“Having been making cakes at Aulds in our specialist department for over 100 years, I knew they could meet the challenge.”

Mr Marr continued: “The auction winners will get a superb centrepiece for their Jubilee Celebration with the money they bid going to their chosen charity.”

Customers can make a “silent bid” for the cake with the shop manager in a sealed envelope.

Each store will provide paper and envelopes at the shop.

The cake will be available to view and bid against from today and the sealed bids will be opened by Aulds management on Monday.

Finally, the lucky winners will be able to pick up their prize the following day.
